Description
Golden Eagle M870 M-Lok Tri-Shot Gas Pump Action Shotgun (Short, Foregrip, Blue)
The Golden Eagle M870 is a gas-powered pump-action shotgun based on the classic 870 pattern, one of the most widely used shotguns in the world. This short version is fitted with an M-Lok fore-end and a foregrip, and is finished in blue. It is compact, punchy and great fun to use, with a satisfying pump action that makes every shot feel deliberate.
Golden Eagle is known for its range of affordable, robust gas shotguns, and the tri-shot system fires several BBs at once for a spread of shot at close range. It is an excellent choice for CQB and indoor sites, where fast, decisive shots around corners and through doorways matter more than long-range accuracy.
How it works
The Golden Eagle M870 tri-shot range is gas powered and loads its BBs from shells. Rack the pump to cock the action and squeeze the trigger to fire a volley of BBs through the triple barrel system. On the short black version of Golden Eagle’s M870 tri-shot, retailers list shells that hold 30 BBs each and a switch inside the bolt carrier that selects three or six BBs per shot; check the manual supplied with your shotgun for the exact set-up of this M-Lok model.
Reloading is a matter of swapping in a fresh shell, so it is worth carrying several loaded shells, just as you would carry spare magazines for a rifle. Retailers list the hop-up on the Golden Eagle tri-shot shotguns as fixed, which is normal for multi-shot designs.
Handling and layout
The short configuration keeps the overall length down so the shotgun is easy to manoeuvre in tight spaces, move through vehicles and buildings and carry as a secondary. The M-Lok fore-end lets you mount M-Lok accessories such as a light, which is useful in dark buildings, while the foregrip gives a secure hold for racking the pump quickly and firmly. The blue finish gives it a distinctive look and makes it easy to identify in a kit bag or gun rack.

Compatibility
Use Golden Eagle M870 tri-shot shells; extra shells are well worth having, as you reload by swapping shells. Retailers list Golden Eagle’s M870 tri-shot shotguns for 134a or green gas, so check the manual for the gas recommended for your shotgun. The M-Lok fore-end accepts standard M-Lok accessories and rail sections. Use quality seamless 6mm BBs.
Care and maintenance
Put a drop of silicone oil on the gas fill valve and seals from time to time, and do not overfill. Store the shotgun with a small amount of gas in it to keep the seals in good condition, and keep it away from heat. Wipe the shotgun down after use, especially after wet or dusty games, and keep the action lightly lubricated so the pump stays smooth.
Who is it for?
This shotgun suits CQB and indoor players who want something compact, fun and effective at close range, and anyone building a breacher or shotgunner loadout. It also makes a good secondary for players who want something different from a pistol.
Please note: Gas and BBs are not included. Always wear suitable eye and face protection and check your site’s rules for shotguns before play.
